how would bangin a hot broad hurt his credibility
i basically think anyone who doesnt love stern is a ninny.

Howard Stern is marginally talented, but a philistine who lost his working-class-ignoramus cred when he traded long-suffering wife in for some chippie.

Given a choice of two doors, one marked "I'm a ninny" and the other "I love Howard Stern", I would always walk through the first and happily join my people on the other side.

When you make ONE movie near the height of your fame and it's an autobiographical ode to how much you love your wife... well, who's the ninny when ya ditch her?

ditch her, i.e. giving her half your assets and agreeing to never talk about her on air again?

i love howard stern and i'm still a ninny.
as for him losing credibility b/c he divorced his first wife ... really, that's so old hat that i don't feel like discussing it. if HS is to be believed, though, and without access to the divorce/property settlement papers, it had more to do with his workaholism than anything else. and just b/c he's divorced doesn't mean that he still doesn't love his original wife.

i mean, really, Howard is like an older brother that i never had but always wished that i did. and it didn't hurt that he was (is?) really kind of a nerdy guy himself (THAT gives him more credibility to many of his longtime fans than his marital status). sort of a "it gets better" for teenage hetero males in the NYC or Philly metro areas who grew up during the late 80s/early 90s. or that's what i think anyway.

i guess I just remember his AIDS jokes of the mid '80s
and that he doesnt know about anything except showbiz, there's that
― kind of shrill and very self-righteous (Dr Morbius), Sunday, 23 January 2011 11:45 (thirteen years ago) link
oh, i don't dispute that he's said plenty of questionable (and downright ugly) things over the years. that's part of the price of admission, i suppose.
that he's become relatively gay-friendly in his middle age may be a sort of atonement for the AIDS jokes. though he still isn't above telling a gay joke.

Well, this is it: A statement 'needs' to be made about this, specifically because he made such an issue about it during this film and the book.
Which he may well have done, so I don't know.
I bought the book on my first visit to NY (read it on the flight back), and rented the movie some time after it came out, he's not that big over here (although he's been on the Chris Evans TFIFriday prog, eventually deciding they both were kindred spirits after all (and then left each other alone, thank F)...
― Mark G, Monday, 24 January 2011 10:39 (thirteen years ago) link
He did an interview with Piers last week for his new show, it's worth having a look as PM tries to be all combative at first and Stern just blows through it all, like he's heard it all a million times before, kinda funny.
― philippe is standing on it (MaresNest), Monday, 24 January 2011 12:13 (thirteen years ago) link
I watched the first half hour of the interview. Howard came off well I thought, deflecting Piers without much difficulty. The next day on Howard's show he was saying in retrospect that he was sorry he didn't get to talk about what he was promoting until much later in the interview. Having the guest schill for their product is standard interview practice in America -- perhaps this is not the case in England, so they may have been playing different ballgames to start with. So no one came out the winner. Sweeping the camera around the ground, shooting up, and the weird blue 80s vibe of Piers' studio were somewhat distracting.

It is here, also, but then again, the ones PMorg does here are more "shill by association", i.e. the artists (eg) has a new album out, everyone kinda knows, but there's no need to produce it/wave it around..
As opposed to the Graham Norton one, where he produces the book and says I've been fascnated by this, and the guest goes o rly, thx....
― Mark G, Tuesday, 25 January 2011 09:13 (thirteen years ago) link
At the minute the show is really coasting, losing Artie, and not bringing people into his chair on a temp basis like they did with Jackie is a big mistake as the focus is on Howard and Robin's personal lives which are both hella boring at the minute. Also, there's also a curious disconnect wrt the second tier people, very little of the interpersonal backroom stuff is happening, which is the stuff that I like to hear to be honest.

then he tells the story of buying teeth for his """bodyguard""""whose teeth were rotted out from years of drug abuse, postnasal cocaine drip
or the story of being in the hospital after smashing his forehead, fucked up on heroinand the phone ringing-- the nurse answers and says, "oh that's horrible."artie breaks into his almost-crying laughter here and can't say what the person on the other end said"he said he was your brother.""i don't have a brother. what he say?""he called you a tub of lard"

End of the show (from his Patreon)
The End Of MarksFriggin.com Daily RecapsSeptember 23, 2023The End.Well, I knew this day would come at some point. This was a really tough decision for me to make. At the end of this month, September 2023, I will no longer be doing my detailed daily recaps of the Howard Stern Show.Even though I'm stopping with the detailed recaps of the show I will probably do some kind of very short segment list. I may just copy the segment list from the SiriusXM app and keep track of when guests were on or something like that. I really don't know. I'll have to see how much time I'm willing to put into this once I start work again in October. I'll be shutting down the early access Patreon.com thing at the end of this month.Why now? There are a few reasons. The biggest reason is money. I need to get back to work, full time, to pay my bills. I should have shut this down about 8 years ago but I enjoyed doing it and loved the freedom I had the rest of my day. I started the site because of my love for the Howard Stern show. That love has become 'like' over the past few years. I can't say I love the show anymore.There are a few things I don't enjoy listening to and I find myself getting aggravated far too often. I can't sit and type any more 2 hour long celebrity interviews. I don't want to type the phrase "Howard answered a knock at the door" ever again. I want to have the freedom to turn the radio off when I hear an awful Jon Blitt bit.I'm not at the point where I'm going to stop listening to the show completely. I still appreciate Howard's interviewing skills. There are interviews I'd rather not sit through though. Now I can pick who I want to listen to and who I can turn off. I've forced myself to listen to a few celebrity interviews I wish I could have walked away from.I don't want to be one of those former Howard Stern fans who bashes the show. I don't hate it. I'm just not as into it as I used to be. I know Howard has evolved. I can appreciate that. It feels weird even venting about the things I mentioned above. I do think the "knock at the door" thing is played out. Way too many impersonators with no material in my opinion.Thank you to everyone who visited the site and supported what I've been doing since 1996. To everyone who contributed by being a Patreon member or bought something through an advertiser link, thank you so much. You helped keep the site going for 27 plus years. That's half of my life! It's been fun.I doubt Howard will ever read this but I will thank him for the 35+ years of entertainment. No one else has captured my attention like that guy. What an amazing talent. So many years of fun shows.I also have to thank the other staff who I've met over the years when I was invited up to the studio for various things. Everyone was so nice. I had great experiences up there. Thanks to everyone there.I guess I'll close this out with my favorite Wack Packer, Eric the Actor's, "Bye for now.""Sincerely,Mark
